Abstract

Naturally occurring falls of known heights can provide data from human tolerance to acceleration when survived as well as fatal falls have been recorded. It is possible to fix a data point for each height on a dosage mortality curve with impact velocity or height corresponding to dosage. Records of falls from two bridges are presented.
